Ed, I agree one the great job of filming while climbing, (even if a helmet go-pro makes it easier). Turning around on those slopes for pano shots makes me think I'm losing my balance. And, my fingers were too cold to do anything like that!
Thanks for posting that, the poem was really nice, and I can sure relate, after spending over 25 yrs. hiking and climbing San Jac & surrounding forest. A place visited often, really becomes a part of us, and we a part of it.
A buddy who knew him, said he climbed San Jac, (usually from the tram), every calendar day of the year, (over several decades). He'd be the kind of guy the help the mule carry that huge boiler, (now a bit above the Round Valley spigot)!. I'll bet he knew Jim Maynard, another very large, strong mt. man, who spent a lot of time on the east flanks of this mt. range.
